Attention is paid to the development of close-reading skills and to strategies of textual analysis, as well as to the vocabulary for describing the structural and iconographic features of artifacts. In the fall, section 1 focuses on gothic fiction, section 2 focuses on religion in America, and section 3 examines captivity narratives and stories of castaways. In the spring, section 1 focuses on gothic fiction and section 2 examines human rights in Latin American literature. Prerequisite: at the first class meeting, students must complete a writing assignment that demonstrates their graduate-level reading comprehension and ability to write coherent, logical arguments.
